NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
75
There are many interesting and exciting articles in this
issue, not all of which are from the 1999 conference. I
am especially pleased with the pair of article on
pollinators and rarity of Cypripedium fasciculatum from
Oregon. Although they are brief, please take time to
read them carefully.
Plans are well underway for the 5th Annual North
American Native Conference to be held in the majestic
Olympic Mountains and Cascade Range of Washington
in July of 2000. Registration information is within this
issue.

Christenson: ORCHIDS OF MEXICO
The third significant contribution on Mexican orchids
was made by botanist H. Galeotti (1814-1858), who
collected numerous herbarium specimens in Mexico
from 1835 to 1840. Galeotti teamed with French
botanist A. Richard (1794-1852) to produce a treatment
in 1844 based on Galeotti’s collections. This was the
first treatment to include a broad range of genera and
species including many smaller-flowered taxa. Galeotti’s
primary set of collections is conserved in Paris (P) but
many of the corresponding drawings by Richard are to
be found in the Reichenbach Herbarium in Vienna (W);
borrowed by Reichenbach but never returned. Galeotti’s
collections are again being critically studied and the
findings combined with our modern understanding of
species (Salazar, 1994).

Molecular Systematics
The purpose of this paper is to summarize
recently published information relating to the
phylogenetic and biogeographic patterns among
Pogoniinae. The use of modern DNA sequencing
technology, lightning fast computer hardware, and
sophisticated software for phylogenetic study has
fostered a renaissance in plant systematics. Botanists
now have access to a seemingly limitless supply of
homologous characters (nucleotides) that are essentially

Morphological Studies
Expanding upon the results of the studies
mentioned above, Cameron and Dickison (1998)
studied the foliar architecture of select species from
Vanilloideae including eight species of Pogoniinae.
They found that leaf morphology and anatomy were
quite variable among the genera and that a clear
evolutionary continuum was evident among these extant
orchids. Leaves from Duckeella and Cleistes represent the
ancestral condition of parallel primary veins with evenly
spaced secondaries. In Isotria, the primary veins are also
parallel, but the distribution and orientation of the
secondary veins results in a weakly reticulate pattern.
Finally, truly reticulate leaf venation with distinct free
vein endings are found in Pogonia representing the most
derived condition in the subtribe. These patterns shed
further light on how reticulate leaf venation may have
evolved in other monocotyledons.

Conclusions
Molecular studies of vanilloid orchids, including
Pogoniinae, have provided compelling evidence to help
answer many perplexing questions concerning these
beautiful and fascinating plants. Many assume that
North American orchids are fully studied and that there
is nothing more to learn from them. The studies
discussed in this paper confirm that this is far from the
truth and that many of our native orchids have a great
deal to teach us about plant biology and evolution.
Unfortunately, these are among the most threatened
plants in North America and efforts to conserve
particularly vulnerable species (such as Isotria medeoloides -
- a member of Pogoniinae and one of our most
endangered orchids) must be put into place

Field studies were conducted between April and
June of 1998 and 1999. Insects were collected by
various methods from the Cypripedium sites. Cypripedium
floral phenology, pollen condition, and flower/insect
associations were also measured. During 1998, an insect
carrying a pollen smear on the dorsal side of its thorax
was removed from a Cypripedium flower as it was exiting
the posterior labellar opening. The insect was collected
intact and the pollen was confirmed as Cypripedium
pollen. During the current field season we have
collected nine additional insects from field sites in
Jackson and Josephine Co., OR with Cypripedium pollen
on their thorax. In all cases, the insect has been
identified as a wasp (Hymenoptera, Family Diapriidae,
Subfamily Belytinae). Species identification of the wasp
is being done by Dr. Lubomir Masner (Ottawa Canada).
This is the first record of a parasitic Diapriid wasp as a
pollinator.

sites and both have been observed closely associated
with the plants. Besides serving as a host to Diapriid
wasps, Mycetophilids have also been implicated as
pollinators of other orchids (Mesler et al 1980), and may
prove to be important in pollen transfer in C.
fasciculatum. Therefore, both insects may be important
in the successful pollination of C. fasciculatum and
additional life history information on both groups needs
to be elucidated. We hypothesize that floral cues may
attract both the fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae, Sciaridae)
and the parasitic wasp (Diapriidae) and hope to clarify
this relationship in future studies.
